Although there is ample life within the protection of Freshwater Bay, the lure of this dive site lies out at the solitary rock at the western point called Bachelor Rock. A shallow rocky reef, alive with color, connects the rock to the point and provides some shelter from the currents and waves. Snorkel or Kayak over the shallow bay toward the reef. Descend near the inside of the reef and follow the contour through the kelp beds to explore rocky structure around the base of the rock. Depth on the inside of the reef is about 30ft and continues to deepen to about 55ft on the outside of Bachelor Rock.
Urchins, sponges, chitons and other colorful invertebrates cling to the rock reef, while schools of rockfish swim through amazing kelp beds. Keep your eyes open for octopus, craba nd other crevice dwelling creatures. This is a rewarding dive location to the determined diver.
